Noetiko Convergence III: Measurement-to-Model Protocols for Metastable Coordination in Open Systems

Abstract: We present an operational and falsifiable methodology for testing whether an open system exhibits coordination dynamics consistent with a low-dimensional metastable organization. The method is deliberately conservative: it treats phase coordination as a reduced description extracted from measured time-series and it does not infer semantic meaning from synchroniza- tion alone. Paper I motivates metastable information persistence via an effective energetic stability scale κ and open-system constraints; Paper II provides the coordination-dynamics template via noisy coupled-oscillator models with explicit guardrails and falsifiers. Here we provide (i) an explicit assumption ledger, (ii) a…
